Estepona Estepona is one of the few coastal towns that has succeeded in maintaining its pueblo charm and character, despite the onslaught of tourism. Notwithstanding, all the tourist facilities are here, including hotels, restaurants, leisure and cultural activities, and shops. The flip side is that the numerous street cafes and tapas bars still serve traditional Spanish delicacies and the steep, cobbled, narrow streets seem more suited to horses than cars. You'll also find unusual shops and bodegas in Estepona, where you'd least expect them, all very inviting, very friendly - and very cheap!

Estepona Golf is located 6km west of the town. A popular, family-run course with a challenging layout, particularly when windy. In contrast with larger, more manicured courses, the natural appearance is maintained with wild flora and fauna still much in evidence just off the fairways. The signature hole is the third, a very long par 5 known as "The Ski Slope", though the difficulties lie more in club selection when assessing ground relief. Greens are of good quality, well-designed and interesting to play. Since it opened in 1989, Estepona has invested to improve course drainage as the high clay content of the terrain is noticeable on rainy days.  It boats - 18 holes • Par 70 • Buggy hire • Clubs hire • Hand cart rental • Restaurant • Bar    The Estepona Marina The Estepona Marina is situated at the west end of the seafront promenade. This is a very pleasant place for a stroll and there are some magnificent boats moored here. There are also a wide variety of excellent bars and restaurants, open both midday and in the evening while younger revellers can enjoy the late night disco bars. There is a popular tourist market here on a Sunday morning. After midnight (especially in the summer season) the port comes alive. Numerous night clubs and discos seem to materialise from nowhere. Most of them cater for the young and energetic. Visitors will be amazed to see the very young and the very old dancing the traditional Andalucían Sevillana well into the early (and not so early) hours of the morning. Renaldo's on the corner is a favourite meeting place, 'Chico Diez' is one of the livliest and 'Attico' the place to be at the moment.  A suggested walk around the old town Park the car in the underground car park under the seafront promenade and walk through to the pedestrianised Calle Real. Where this road crosses Calle Terraza is a good starting point. The Café Central on the corner is one of the town's most popular cafés. It is commonly known locally as the Manicomio or 'mad house' presumably referring to a building that once stood on this site. Take a look at the old photos of Estepona on display here. If there has been a recent town event or procession, photos of this will probably also be on display. If time permits, have a look at the shops on Calle Terraza and Real, and stop in at one of the traditional bars on Calle Caridad for an ice-cold fino (sherry) and tapa. Walk up to the attractive Plaza de las Flores. On one side is the Casa de la Cultura, a cultural centre maintained by the town hall. Have a look inside, as there may well be an art exhibition being held by a local artist. Walk west to view the Clock Tower, the municipal market, the old town hall and the Castle of San Luis before heading down the hill to the seafront promenade.   Home  |  Properties for Rent  |  About Us  |  A view of Estepona  |  A view of Duquesa  |  Golf  |  Contact us   How to make a booking  |  Flights  |  E-mail Copyright © 2003 Costa del Rentals Back to Top
